the continued violence in Belfast is very similar to the riots here in London in that the original protests are only tenuously linked to what is carrying on. They are more about a disaffected youth and being symptomatic of a socio-economic clusterfuck. If you asked any of these "protesters" why they are doing it they will only be able to regurgitate something they heard on tv. Much like when in London they said "cos the police shot Mark Duggan" they have no idea what the original cause was. Belfast was a very clever/sly political move that has either backfired or gone exactly the way the instigators secretly planned.
